MAYNARD — Chief Angela Lawless is pleased to share that Maynard Firefighter/EMT Tim Landry graduated from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy (MFA) on Friday, Aug. 30.
Firefighter/EMT Landry was one of 34 graduates from 17 departments in the Career Recruit Firefighting Training Program Class #323.
Firefighter/EMT Landry has worked at Maynard Fire for a year, and is originally from Maynard. His father was a Captain at Maynard Fire Department before becoming the Fire Chief in Stow, where he retired.
During the 50-day training program, participants receive classroom training in all basic firefighter skills. They practice first under non-fire conditions and then during controlled fire conditions. The graduates are now certified at the level of Firefighter I and II and in hazardous material operation.
The other 32 graduates of Class #323 represent the fire departments from Andover, Attleboro, Belmont, Devens, Dudley, Fitchburg, Methuen, Norfolk, North Andover, Northborough, Orleans, Revere, Salem, Shrewsbury, Tewksbury, and Westborough.
“I would like to wish Tim the best of luck in this next chapter of his career and congratulate him on graduating from the academy,” said Chief Lawless. “Throughout this past year, Tim continued to step into his role with confidence and professionalism and we look forward to seeing what he accomplishes next.”
